USM student ID with blue hologram
Description
I lost my USM student ID yesterday around 3pm outside the library on Hardy Street in Hattiesburg, near the Student Union. It’s a USM campus ID tucked in a black plastic sleeve, front shows my photo in a maroon hoodie, and the back has a blue holographic strip. The sleeve has a tiny coffee stain on the front and a small dent in the lower-right corner from dropping it in the rain. I really need it back—it's my dorm access and meal plan, and it’s a bit sentimental since it was a gift from my parents. If you found it, please drop it at campus security or the student union info desk; I’d be grateful to get it back.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
